He actually does I believe. They were all trained in martial arts for the Matrix and I believe he kept with it. I might be wrong.
Jebus that rig... Is he really directing a Kung Fu flick? Day freaking 1
That rig was incredible. I really enjoyed watching that small snippet. Hopefully the tech becomes more widespread because it just moves around SO incredibly smooth and some movies could definitely benefit from it.
And yes, I'd be interested in a movie by Keanu. I wonder what sort of ideas that man has floating around in his hair.
Does anyone know the Kung Fu style used in that clip? I don't recognize it at all.
I'd give him money just to make quick-cuts and ultra zoom GTFO out action movies.
Totally ruins things like Batman... and, well, yea, most action flicks. When's the last time we got one shot still takes? At least this fight looked organic, distant, and consistent. yah.

We don't get them because they take an incredible amount of talent.. I can't see the majority of hollywood celebrities being able to pull of a full fight scene without tons of cuts.
thank you. that was great. I loved how when he jumped on the first floor the camera did not zoom, but stayed on the ground till he kicked the man down, and then went up the stairs and you missed a few quick fights... THATS what I'm talking about, it feels so much more real when there's action going on constantly and the camera acts as your 'eye', trying to follow it constantly but not always catching everything, not always cutting and missing, but staring, straight, wide-eyed, grasping to understand but hovering outside a bottle field and not trying to 'produce' one
Youre welcome! I highly recommend The Protector to anyone. Easily one of my favorite movies. Ong Bak is also excellent and involves many of the same people. They still make great action movie scenes... just not so much in hollywood
The guy in the chinese attire is using choreographed taijiquan/ tai chi. The bald dude, i dont know. It looks like some kind of shaolinquan, but i cant be arsed to spend more time looking at it.
Plus its all choreographed anyway.
I don't know. Given the lack of fajin in the expression and just on sheer probability i would make a guess and say Yang.That's Tai Chi? Which style? I was trained in Tai Chi too, but what I do is totally different.
Keanu. ;_;
I love Keanu, but what does this have to do with him?
He will star and direct in his martial arts movie "Man of Tai Chi".
